Front wheel brakes FNRG60: Assembly overview
  Note
t  Install all parts supplied in repair kit.
t  After replacing the brake pads, fully step on the brake pedal a few times with the vehicle stopped, so that the pads adapt to their working position.
t  To extract brake fluid from the reservoir, use an extraction bottle, which should only come into contact with the brake fluid. Brake fluid is poisonous and must on no account be sucked out with the mouth using a hose!
t  Check brake calliper for easy motion by moving laterally
